Communication Expressions

Also means

and indeed; that is why

Usage Note

Denn auch connects a consequence or explanation to what precedes, with a slightly emphatic or confirming force — 'as indeed, that is why': Das war nicht geplant, und scheiterte denn auch prompt. It is more formal and literary than deshalb auch and adds a 'just as one would expect' nuance. Occurs in formal written prose.

Examples

"Der Aufwand war groß, und das Ergebnis denn auch entsprechend überzeugend."

Natural Translation

The effort was great, and the result was correspondingly impressive as expected.

Literal Translation

The effort was great, and the result for-that-reason also correspondingly convincing.
